Seen a set of Grid Vs that are 15x8 with 0 offset on the rears. Anyone know, first hand, if these will fit the EKs? Fronts are 15x7 et 20 so should be OK?

Cheers
 
Depends how low your car is and how big your front calipers are
 
Do you have camber arms? What tyre size will you be using? FYI my 15x7 et32 with 195/55/15 will need either a bit more camber or rear arch folded, so 8j and et 0 will certainly need both I'd say. The will poke some 74mm compared to OEM wheel, that's quite a bit.
 
Standard Calipers. And on 195/55/15 tyres the arches are about 15mm above the tyres.

Wow. If you're have to do that with 7" wide wheels, the 8" & 0 ET wil need quite a bit of work. The deep dish on the wheel looks great though. Was going for something similar to these.....

I had staggered 7j and 8j rear grid vs and it handled shockingly got rid of them within a month. I'd just go 7j all round. :)

7j looks just as good and handles better! :)

Those 8j rears are mad. I've decided on an 7j set and found them.

Thanks for the replies.

Was there much hassle with 15x7 et20 wheels in? Did you roll the arches, stretch the tyres or have to put negative camber on the rears?

Nothing just fits straight on.
Loads of room on arches. :)
 
Got 15 x 7s. Love them. Thanks for the help folks

Excuse the TypeR stickers. They're no longer on the car. Finally got round to stripping them.
